Help and Support Center in Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 SP1 does not properly validate HCP URLs, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using certain hcp:// URLs that access the DVD Upgrade capability (dvdupgrd.htm).

Multiple integer overflows in Microsoft ASN.1 library (MSASN1.DLL), as used in LSASS.EXE, CRYPT32.DLL, and other Microsoft executables and libraries on Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and XP, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via ASN.1 BER encodings with (1) very large length fields that cause arbitrary heap data to be overwritten, or (2) modified bit strings.

The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) for Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and possibly Windows NT and Server 2000, does not properly validate the length of certain packets, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Cisco voice products, when running the IBM Director Agent on IBM servers before OS 2000.2.6, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via arbitrary packets to TCP port 14247, as demonstrated using port scanning.

The default installation of Cisco voice products, when running the IBM Director Agent on IBM servers before OS 2000.2.6, does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers to gain administrator privileges by connecting to TCP port 14247.

ISC BIND 8.3.x before 8.3.7, and 8.4.x before 8.4.3, allows remote attackers to poison the cache via a malicious name server that returns negative responses with a large TTL (time-to-live) value.

Buffer overflow in a function in User32.dll on Windows NT through Server 2003 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via long (1) LB_DIR messages to ListBox or (2) CB_DIR messages to ComboBox controls in a privileged application.

The Authenticode capability in Microsoft Windows NT through Server 2003 does not prompt the user to download and install ActiveX controls when the system is low on memory, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code without user approval.

The Messenger Service for Windows NT through Server 2003 does not properly verify the length of the message, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the PCHealth system in the Help and Support Center function in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long query in an HCP URL.
